On Linux it's at least explicit that file paths can be any string of bytes (any or "no" encoding)

- sedatk 3y agoI don't understand why this gets brought up. You still have to assume the filenames are encoded to something in order to display them, otherwise there would be no way to display a filename other than in hexadecimal. Windows always uses UTF-16 while Linux uses the locale (which defaults to UTF-8). It's not like working with filenames on Linux is somewhat easier or more straightforward, it's certainly not.
